Industrial electrics

[c.k.]

I have a question regarding the control of heating systems (large scale). I think it is best posted here, as it is really electrical as opposed to plumbing/heating.

What is the purpose of a "Seachange boiler controller with VT circuit"

and a DWH controller.

I heard reference made to these recently and was just wondering what they are. Where would they be installed etc.

A slightly related question. Are industrial electrics anyway similar to domestic? Does it have its similarities or a completely different kettle of fish?

Seachange (now called smart kontrols) manufacture a range of heating control devices for use in commercial / industrial environments.
A boiler controller is a sophisticated piece of apparatus used to control up to 2 boilers as of demands from the main building. It also features various test and “housekeeping” modes for maintenance on heating systems.

A domestic hot water controller is used to maintain how water at a desired temp. along with controlling calorifiers.

This is really advanced heating control for large buildings and this is not the place to go into it all.

I have wired a heating system for a school here recently, which features both of these units. I happen to have photographs of this on the net at present and are linked to below. These will also give you some idea of what industrial wiring is about, unrelated to domestic.
The workmanship on industrial installations has to be to a very high standard, borrowed neutrals etc. are OUT!

Perhaps FWL or secure can compare this type of installation / practices to those used in the u.k.

Is there some knack in opening these kind of cabinets. Even when I use the key and open both 'locks' the door still won't open??

Ah, It's the key for the emergency lighting controller, which shoudn't really be there, but about the only place you can leave it where it wont get lost.

Then you probably shoudn't be opening them! try switching off the isolator on the front first. the door won't open until you do this for safety purposes

Are they for the new Triton Megawatt range of showers?

Can I get them in a format to suit my 60A Wylex plug-in type?
